History behind our name

At Konbit Restaurant, every dish we serve is more than just a meal—it's a story, a connection to the heart of Haiti. Our name, "Konbit," is a tribute to our grandmother, Madame Moise, lovingly known as Man Moy, who continues to inspire our journey. Man Moy has always been the pillar of our community, a dedicated farmer who knew the power of togetherness. She would gather the nearby farmers, bringing them to work side by side in each other's fields, all while the rhythmic beats of Haitian music filled the air. It was more than just farming; it was a celebration of unity, where hard work was lightened by laughter and song.

While the men tended to the fields, Man Moy and the women focused on preparing the food. They gathered outside, lighting fires and turning fresh produce and ingredients from their farms into a hearty meal. As they stirred pots and chopped vegetables, laughter and stories filled the air.

As the sun sets behind the hills, everyone came together to enjoy the feast—celebrating the fruits of their collective effort. It was a moment of pure joy and connection, where food became the bridge that united them all, nourishing both body and spirit.

This tradition of "Konbit" is what we bring to every plate at our restaurant. We invite you to join us, to be a part of this legacy that celebrates the rich flavors and vibrant culture of our beloved island. When you dine with us, you're not just having a meal—you're experiencing the warmth, the unity, and the joy that have been passed down through generations. 

At Konbit Restaurant, we cook with love, we serve with pride, and we welcome you as part of our community. Come, taste the essence of Haiti, and let us share with you the true beauty of our island. Bonne Appétit!
